Note: Text is from their description.
Rub the rust off thy armor, iron thy chain mail and polish up on ye chivalry for the 21st Annual Medieval Festival in Fort Tryon Park! The festival is a unique chance to experience the medieval period in the most authentic setting this side of the Atlantic. The area around the Cloisters Museum in Fort Tryon Park is transformed into a medieval market village where knights in armor, jugglers, jesters, magicians, musicians, storytellers, and puppeteers will perform. A blacksmith, manuscript illuminator, pottery decorator, wood carver and other artisans will demonstrate their crafts. Performers and fairgoers dress in historical costumes. Medieval food is available and craft items will be sold. The afternoon culminates with a jousting event between knights on horseback!
This FREE event is sponsored by Parks and Recreation and the Washington Heights and Inwood Development Corporation (a not-for-profit organization).
